District 5 3 If you are selected to fill this one year At -Large position do you plan to run for election for this position in 2018? No, I am only offering to do this for the one year 4 Lake Whatcom is the drinking water source for about half of the County, and the County has entered into an plan to cleanup the lake to ensure it remains a good source of water far into the future. That plan is slated to take about 50 years to complete. Which statement best represents your thoughts on this effort? I am not completely up to speed with the existing plan or its timeline but in my experience it seems when it comes to environmental clean up, there are never enough resources and we are always behind schedule. Making sure our efforts are diligent and deliberate are key. Access to clean water is always a priority, therefore, I would not recommend cutting resources but rather see if there are ways to either reallocate existing resources, based on recommendations from our technical staff, or find ways to increase the funding. 5 There are many human needs in our community. Please check below all the areas that you believe need greater effort. The county food banks Long-term affordable housing Programs to address domestic violence and sexual assault Emergency shelter for the homeless Mental health programs Substance abuse programs Incarceration prevention programs Low income medical and dental programs Other (Please Specify): I believe that all of the services listed need a fair amount of resources. In general, our County has a shared problem of drug abuse. Making sure that we maximize funds for mental health and substance abuse could alleviate the need for services in other public programs. I understand that is easier said than done. I think if we could set goals to reduce drug abuse, specifically prenatal exposure, we could find success in improving the overall public health. 6 If on question #5 you said any efforts need to increase, which of these statements best represents your belief in the County's role in funding such efforts. There is a need to provide all of the services for our growing population. We should always try to leverage current revenues to provide services " 1/2/18 3 that is not po �+�le we should then look at new taxes.

What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? The people have twice voted against the new jail. I'll be interested in finding out more about our options for improving the downtown jail.' I will also support funding for pretrial services. 8 Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights We need a government rules that allow for families to enjoy their property while balancing the opportunity for future generations to have access to clean water and usable land. The recent Hirst decision is a prime example of how we need leadership to help provide certainty for all of our County residents. The County could set a basin wide water initiative to quantify the available water for both consumptive and non consumptive use. The outcome of the initiative could lead to a clear path on how property owners access water for their homes and the water initiative would also protect habitat. 9 The recent "Hirst" decision from the Supreme Court has affected many people's ability to drill wells to develop their property, and has caused the County to take a broader look at water rights and in -stream flow protections. Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? As mentioned in the response above this is a prime example of how our Council is tasked with creating solutions to problems that impact our current residents and future generations. We definitely need water certainty for all water users. We need an initiative that quantifies water rights for all, maintains water quality and protects habitat. This is a project that we could partner with the other local governments and advocate for the resources needed for the initiative from the State and Federal Government. 10 Whatcom County sits in a unique geographical position and has one of the last undeveloped deep water ports on the west coast. In 2017 the County Council entered into a contract with an outside legal firm to gain information about what authority the County does, and does not have, regarding dealing with the various potential impacts from an increase in exports of fossil fuels from Cherry Point. Do you believe spending County money on such a legal analysis was a good idea? I think the action was a good decision. The Cherry Point area accounts for large portion of the local economy. Making sure we know the County's authorities can help the County better support the existing industries and to protect the County from any impacts to our habitat. 11 There is always an argument about what role the County plays in job creation and economic development, and how much County funding should be devoted to those things. What is your opinion on the County's role in this area? The local government always has a role in helping the local economy. We need to make sure that we have a government that allows families to work and live Whatcom County. The County has a great responsibility in providing safe transportation corridors for our community. We need not only a sound transportation system to get goods in and out of our County but we also need quality roadways to get people to and from their home and workplace. Improving our transportation systems for our growing community is vital. That means advocating in Olympia and D.C. to make transportation projects in our area a priority A.3 _.__ . _., __.__ ._ __ _. 1126181,3.56 7 unnne Jurveys nitps://rreeoniinesurveys.com/app7v/ jut wo i i anagw- i irespons 1/2/18, 3:56 P ILA 4°fv I� �! �!% {C= Lu1 'ct�tJlAdGiL..� 0�n'a Benner CLOT}<OF �t3 Q€#ItT fro trn t� ri;C ,��.

That plan is slated to take about 50 years to complete. Which statement best represents your thoughts on this effort? I support the professional expertise of the 50 year plan. I would not be willing to divert funding from other county programs or raise taxes to speed up the plan unless water quality deteriorates significantly. Any cheaper, proven, effective alternatives should be considered in the 2020-2024 plan. 5 There are many human needs in our community. Please check below all the areas that you believe need greater effort. Long-term affordable housing Mental health programs Substance abuse programs Incarceration prevention programs Other (Please Specify): Prefer an integrated approach (GRACE) as many of these are interrelated. 6 If on question #5 you said any efforts need to increase, which of these statements best represents your belief in the County's role in funding such efforts. County funding should focus on long term outcomes for critical human needs in coordination with organizations with proven histories of results. Priority should go to programs that positively impact disadvantaged children and promote their long term emotional, intellectual and physical well- being. Input, especially in the form of data and proven outcomes, from the Opportunity Council, WAHA, EMS, St Joe's, WC staff, and other affected entities is essential. Consider what other government entities have done, both successful and not so successful. Prioritize these needs by digging into the data and determining which county investments will have the greatest long term impact. Evaluate short and long term outcomes, costs, and administration. Spending outcomes, in a "Lessons Learned" forum, should be freely shared to promote wise spending in the future. It's ok to acknowledge that a program doesn't work as well as expected. We learn from these experiences. Accountability is critical to refining future spending. :)f 3 14 12/29/17&5 P ee vnnne Surveys ntips://rreeoniinesurveys.cormappv/iuivuo/ianaiyzer-iirespons 7 Voters recently rejected a ballot measure to fund a new County jail. What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? The Whatcom County Incarceration Prevention and Reduce Task Force, Phase III (December 5, 2017) document contains sound recommendations for County Council consideration. Moving forward with GRACE (Ground -level Response and Coordinated Engagement) program and investing more in the WC drug court are types of investments that not only improve lives, but also can curb future jail and social services costs. Also consider a restorative justice program. 8 Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights Respect the environment. Respect the science. Respect the law. Keep emotion and storytelling out of the issues. 9 The recent "Hirst" decision from the Supreme Court has affected many people's ability to drill wells to develop their property, and has caused the County to take a broader look at water rights and in -stream flow protections. Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? I support the Senate position in SB 5239 which restores the ability for local government to rely on Ecology's water rules as a basis for available water in land use and permitting actions. Most counties don't have the resources to scope out water resources. Thirty nine different water policies in Washington are 38 too many. 10 Whatcom County sits in a unique geographical position and has one of the last undeveloped deep water ports on the west coast. In 2017 the County Council entered into a contract with an outside legal firm to gain information about what authority the County does, and does not have, regarding dealing with the various potential impacts from an increase in exports of fossil fuels from Cherry Point. Do you believe spending County money on such a legal analysis was a good idea? I'd prefer to spend money on infrastructure or human services needs and reach out to (or coordinate with) other Ports for finding's they may have on these issues. 11 There is always an argument about what role the County plays in job creation and economic development, and how much County funding should be devoted to those things. What is your opinion on the County's role in this area? I'd like to see the County identify "workforce of the future" jobs that would be appropriate for our area and focus economic and infrastructure development around these opportunities. The County could work with local cities and business communities to identify obstacles, then work to streamline processes or otherwise reduce hurdles that may be identified. Utilize REET and EDI funding, if needed. f.3.... _.. _ 12/29/ 1.71.:35 P 15 ee vnnne Surveys ntips://irceoniinesurveys.com/app?T/ i v i wo i i anaiyzei- i irespons :)f 3 16 12/29/17, 1:35 P DEC 2 0 2017 COUNCILMEMBEFt0l CLERK OF THE COUNCIL Dena Brown-DaviF, G.M.C, WHATCOM COUNTY Eisbare Brenner %d Browne COUNTY COURTHOUSE 'OUNCIL Barry 0uthanan Todd Donovan 311 Grand Avenue, Suite #105 Ken Mann Bellin hem, WA 98225-4038 3784-jolo Satpal Sldhu (360) Carl Weimer APPLICATION FOR APPOINTMENT TO FILL AT -LARGE, POSITION B, VACANCY ON THE WHATCOM COUNTY COUNCIL NAME, RESIiiE I A /zEt CODE, MAILING ADDRESS (IF DIFFERENT THAN RESIDENCE)! . . .. . .......... . . . . . ........................ 3 DAY TELEPHONE: EVENING TELEPHONE, p.

What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? I would engage the constituencies who promoted the last two losing ballot measures and determine whether they are yet inclined to earnestly consider a new, less expensive, plan that possesses qualities that incorporate needed compromise, so as to gain the support of a winning coalition. Conditions at the current jail are inhumane. As a contract criminal defense attorney at Lummi Nation I recently had occasion to ask 6 defendants, who had been transported from the Whatcom County Jail to the Lummi Tribal Court, about their impressions of the current jail. I asked them, "Do you think we need a new jail?" They responded in unison and loudly, "Yesll" They described conditions that include: 32 bunks in one room with one shower and, often, they will wheel in what they call "boats" (temporary beds) to house up to 8 more people in the same room, sleeping mats that are "dirty" and "never cleaned", ventilation that creates "terrible air quality" with people "physically sick" with headaches, "small food portions" and recreation for only one hour a week and the rest of their time they are in their cells, no television, the "drunk tank" does not have a toilet and only a hole in the floor, "mold in the vents", floors "that are visually bending", and "cracks in the wall that you can stick your fingers in". They said the place literally stinks. I am only reporting impressions provided by the inmates themselves. Even if leadership succeeds in building a coalition that results in agreement on proceeding with a new jail plan we must invest in improved conditions at the current jail as an interim measure. Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights A rule imposes some form of limitation on the use of property. A rich body of constitutional, state and local laws determine the question of whether a rule is acceptable or overreaching. I support following the law. There is an appropriate line between governments use of its law making power to protect the health and welfare of the public and overreach that interferes with an individual's property rights. When there is conflict in that regard our courts settle the question. During my time on the Whatcom County Council I gave deference to the views of our professional attorneys when they held a strong opinion on the legality, or lack thereof, of a particular proposed rule. So each rule gets its own special scrutiny. Of course there are times when a proposed rule presents a close call and the decision becomes political. I was prepared on a number of occasions to support land use rules that I believed were in the public interest.

Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? I recognize this is a highly contentious issue in our County with many people holding contrary and highly charged viewpoints. Seeking to find outcomes that mollify a broad constituency will take care and creativity. With that said, as a very preliminary observation, I think it would be appropriate to support efforts to assist in the process of helping to identify water availability in a way that creates a less burdensome and costly obligation on the part of private landowners. 10 Whatcom County sits in a unique geographical position and has one of the last undeveloped deep water ports on the west coast. In 2017 the County Council entered into a contract with an outside legal firm to gain information about what authority the County does, and does not have, regarding dealing with the various potential impacts from an increase in exports of fossil fuels from Cherry Point. Do you believe spending County money on such a legal analysis was a good idea? Yes. By one means or another, the County must be fully equipped with a clear understanding of its regulatory authority in dealing with impacts from increased fuel exports so as to adequately protect the health and welfare of the public. The County attorneys indicated a lack of expertise in this area of law which necessitates acquirement of needed information through outside counsel. 11 There is always an argument about what role the County plays in job creation and economic development, and how much County funding should be devoted to those things. What is your opinion on the County's role in this area? I recall, very distinctly, developing a point of view on this question during the 8 years I served on the Whatcom County Council. Each year the economic development organization, which underwent various name changes, would come before the Council and request an appropriation to help fund their organization, a request that I would always support. Recruitment of new business, not just retention and expansion of existing business, was usually the primary object of the organization. Each year the grand ambition of recruiting a major new business to our region would fail to achieve the hopeful outcome. It seemed our investment did not pay off. Of course, that experience requires us to consider the question of what is the fundamental role of the County in economic development. It strikes me that the County's primary role is ensuring that we maintain the highest quality of essential public services, that we possess a fair regulatory process, and that we properly size and locate our various zoning districts to ensure adequate space for business. I am not opposed to the support of funding economic development organizations that strive to achieve the noble goal of economic development. However, I would challenge the proponents to define the outcomes they seek and the reasons for why we should have confidence it can be achieved through the strategies they propose. 1/2/18, 5:09 P 20 CLEi2KOFTHE COUNCIL 1 C+ COUNCILME3 BERS Dana Brown -Davis, C.M.C.

What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? The people of Whatcom County have voted that the cost and implications of a large jail are not what this county values. If we build a 476 bed facility, we will fill it, even if it is not in the best interest of those incarcerated or to our community. At this time, I see two alternatives, 1. propose, vote, and build a smaller jail which includes a mental health facility and substance abuse treatment areas, or 2. renovate the current jail. According to the Whatcom County Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force Report 2017, the renovations will cost "approximately $10.5 million to correct current building deficiencies at the jail and work center and an additional $32.4 million for a longer -term, 20- year renewal plan." I support the efforts of the Whatcom County Incarceration Prevention and Reduction Task Force. Since 62% of incarcerations are non -felony charges and most involve warrants, alternative measures can be taken without risk to our community. One area that is not directly addressed in the Task Force's recommendations is misdemeanor sex crimes. Research shows that the effect of both felony and misdemeanor sex crimes has substantial impacts on the victims and society (social, occupational, quality of life.... Journal of Trauma Stress 2010). Therefore, I would suggest adding that people committed for misdemeanor sex crimes not have alternative sentencing and should be contained with the same process as those who have committed felonies. 8 Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights Balancing environmental impact and a person's property rights will continue to be a county issue as our population grows and resources become limited. Protecting the environment must be our priority. Because our water and air are shared and directly impact our health, we must make protecting them our main objective. Having grown up on a tree farm, I saw firsthand the stresses of environmental regulations in maintaining a healthy farm. The Hirst decision is an example of government regulation impacting personal property rights. We must work together to protect our environment and respect personal property rights. This involves compromise and finding common ground. 9 The recent "Hirst" decision from the Supreme Court has affected many people's ability to drill wells to develop their property, and has caused the County to take a broader look at water rights and in -stream flow protections. Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? As our local population continues to grow, water rights will become increasingly important. The Hirst decision is greatly affecting the livelihood of developers and landowners throughout our county. As a council, we need to consider all aspects of our water's use and balance the environmental impacts with the needs of our residents. Allowing homes to be constructed that are connected to wells that have the potential to go dry each summer is not in the best interest of the individuals or the environment. )f 3 12/30/17, 1:38 F 25 : unnne ,purveys nitps://ireeonnnesurveys.com/appv/ iu iyuo iianaiyzei- trrespons 10 Whatcom County sits in a unique geographical position and has one of the last undeveloped deep water ports on the west coast.

Because of our location, natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and cultural proximity, we have an opportunity to attract and attain the types of industry we value. While still supporting our current farms, education institutions, industries, and businesses, we can seek the businesses that will provide the types of jobs we wish to bring into our county. If we leave our development to chance, we run the risk of losing the quality of life we value. Proposals, such as Rud Browne's New Jobs Proposal is an excellent example of thorough research and vision in what many residents want to see in our community. 3 26 12/30/17, 1:38 P K, h1 q COUNCILMEMBBIS CLERK OF THE COUNCIL DEC 7 0arbara Brenner Dana Brown -Davy C.M.C.

What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? The current jail is unsafe, inhumane and expensive to maintain. It was poorly designed and inadequate for the current needs. In the last election, 1 do not believe that the citizens said no to a replacement jail, they just did not want to be taxed more when they had already agreed to a tax in 2004, which it appears was miss handled and no jail was built. I would suggest looking at properties (assets) that the county owns and consider selling them to bring in money to construct the replacement jail as proposed and additional property tax. The county owns several prime undeveloped properties amounting to well over 150 acres of land, as well as the current irongate site which was built with the plan of selling it. Plantation Range maybe another asset that could be sold. it is so expensive that our law enforcement cannot afford to use it but uses the Custer Range. There are also funds in various county accounts that could also be tapped for a Capital Project. According to Finance "any County fund could be used for capital expenses or projects." 8 Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights The impact on individual property rights is enormous. The most important reason and the purpose of government is the securing and protection of the property rights of the individual. Every time a law or ordinance is passed that affects property, the individual's rights to property are diminished. We are rapidly approaching a time when we will be owners of property in name only with no real rights that should be inherit with ownership. We are human and we will make mistakes as we create and innovate to make our lives more comfortable, in that process we have created some environment problems (this does not give government the right to control what we do with our property). History has shown because we are free to create and innovate, we have found solutions to those problems. Our Creator, as identified in our Declaration of Independence, endowed us with certain inalienable rights, He also gave us the ability to create and make a better life, but that did not include the right to abuse any of His creation. We should be free to enjoy our private property rights and be good stewards of the creation without government saying you can only do what is permitted (there is no freedom in that).

Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? Since Hirst put water regulation under the local control, the correct view and fair of water rights would be that the senior right holder must show that he is being affected by the junior holder. In simple terms you are innocent until proven guilty. After all it is impossible to prove the negative, so no one in the Nooksack basin would ever be able prove their well will not affect the Nooksack some how, so they could never use water from a new well. Looking honestly at stream in -flow would also go along ways to fix the problem. The low range of in- flow cannot be determined by the yearly median but by what is historically actually the low range. The way that is is currently set means that there will always be seasons "drought" which is simply not true. There is no actual water shortage in Whatcom County!

What is your opinion on the County's role in this area? As stated in the Declaration of Independence the purpose of government is to protect and secure the inalienable rights of the individual. As an individual I may have ideas of what businesses I would like to see prosper and succeed, but the government does not have that luxury. Government should strive to make a level playing field, adopt reasonable standards and define the penalties for intentional, reckless and negligent violation of those standards, and then let the creativity and innovation of the business determine its own success or failure. Government should occupy itself with creating good infrastructure and a positive community attitude that is attractive to starting, growing and maintaining successful, healthy businesses. In keeping with the spirit of our founders it should be minimally intrusive, strive to protect and secure the rights of the individual and legislate from the presumption of innocence. Leaders with diverse perspectives should be able to find a reasonable consensus as to with in what parameters businesses should operate. :)f 4 12/30/17, 9:36 31 CLERK OF TH E COU N CI L Dana Brown -Davis, C.M.C.

Elected leadership positions in local non -profits, including PTA, Sierra Club, and Democratic Party. Completing a 4-year term on the Whatcom County Planning Commission, including work on the Comprehensive Plan update, Critical Areas Ordinance update. Education B.A. University of Nebraska, 1977, major Environmental Politics and Economics. Secondary Teaching Certificate, 1999, Western Washington University, endorsements in History, Political Science, Social Studies, Career and Technical Education, Computer Applications. Briefly explain why you wish to serve on the county council Whatcom County has some difficult issues ahead of it, and the Council can't afford to make a caretaker appointment to this vacancy. Every council member needs to be ready and able to participate fully in crafting effective and affordable solutions and making thoughtful and strategic decisions. I believe I have the background, education and experience to take on that challenge from day one. My 4 years on the Planning Commission have prepared me for a major portion of the council's agenda of planning and development issues. Since my college days taking Agricultural Economics courses, including Water Resources Economics, I have been a student of water issues. I have been following the WRIA-1 process and availing myself of every opportunity to educate myself on water law and the Hirst decision. Regarding the county jail, the priority should be to heartily engage both the opponents and proponents of the recently rejected jail tax proposal in a robust but expeditious public process to develop a long- term plan for criminal justice that everyone can live with. Public education of the process, the issues, and the proposals is imperative. And speaking of pubic education, throughout my career I have given special attention to communicating issues to the public. In a democracy, we get better and longer -lasting outcomes when an educated public participates in the process. Unfortunately, there seems to be increased interest in misinforming the public as a 'strategy for political success. The only defense against this is a strong offense, by stepping up our public information efforts in advance of major, and potentially controversial, decisions. I am particularly pleased to see the progress the county is making on its Integrated Land & Infrastructure Management System that will make a huge amount of information readily available to the public as well as allow county services to be delivered more efficiently. I will be looking for ways to push that information out to the public in a format that is easily received and utilized.

What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? Aggressively engage both opponents and proponents of the jail tax to find lasting solutions to our incarceration and criminal justice problems. There is no one right answer. Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights The ability of individuals to not only own property but enforce their rights through local courts, and use that property as a fungible asset is one of the main reasons the US has been so successful. That being said, there are limits to rights when they impose on others or society at large. Humans are the ultimate invasive species and our impact on the land, water and air must be checked if modern civilization is to survive. (Humans will survice, beause we are the ultimate adaptable species. But I'm not sure we want to live in a Mad Max world) We will always struggle to find the proper balance between the rights of individuals and the rights of the community, and that's what politics is all about. The recent "Hirst" decision from the Supreme Court has affected many people's ability to drill wells to develop their property, and has caused the County to take a broader look at water rights and in -stream flow protections. Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? A lot of changes have taken place in Whatcom County in the year since the Hirst decision. The County Assessor has identified some 1,100 parcels directly affected by the Hirst Decision, or 1% of county parcels. Property impacted by Hirst has sold at a new value, been developed using alternative household water sources, and re -sold to new homeowners. Water availability is no longer being taken for granted, and that's a good thing. But some things stay the same, namely attitudes that we have unlimited water and we don't need to do anything differently. I see two obstacles to finding solutions that will meet all water needs, including the fish. The first is lack of public understanding of basic water law, rights to water, and common solutions used elsewhere. We have a lot of dedicated people in this county who have been working on water issues for years before Hirst, but the general public doesn't know about them or the plans they've developed. The second is a lack of political will on the part of our leaders, both the Council and the Executive, to move existing plans forward and engage the public with education of the issue and solutions at hand. We can continue along the current path of disfunction until the fish are all gone, or we can•act now. I say we act now. The Council should make clear what kind of "fix" they are hoping for from the Legislature. Many in the County have advocated turning back the clock and pretending that there is a separate and distinct pool of water that land developers can tap for rural homes. This ignores reality. Instead we should be pressing for these three principles: 1) Tribal agreement, since they have the most senior water rights in the state, 2) A mitigation mechanism for new exempt wells, and a way to fund mitigation projects. This would provide a method for landowners to move forward with existing projects, and 3) Mitigation must be water for water, in the same basin, and at the same time. it should not allow, for example, for planting trees in another part of the state with effects on water in the future. �)f 3 12/26/17, 4:13 ' W vnnne purveys nrips:urreeonnnesurveys.comiappfri iviyuoi/anaiyzet-iirespons 10 Whatcom County sits in a unique geographical position and has one of the last undeveloped deep water ports on the west coast.

The county, and cities, should focus on providing basic services and infrastructure, and basic quality of life values, that make living and working here, and starting a business here attractive. We should not spend time or money looking for businesses to move here. That just brings more people and more pressure on our resources, including housing. Completing with every other city/county in the country for the next Amazon2 is a losing strategy. We should not participate in the race to the bottom. We should focus on providing resources for people who already live here to start and grow their businesses. The County should also look very closely at laws, etc, that make and/or keep people poor. While many of these are state and federal laws, It's worth a look to see what we can do locally. Economic development includes helping people move out of poverty, so they contribute to the overall economy of the region, and at the same time reduce the drag on county services having to deal with them as poor people. 3 36 12/26/17, 4:13 P CLEIRKOFTHECOUNCIL DEC 2 0 2017 Dann Brown -Davis, C.M.C.

THE ABOVE INFORMATION WILL BE AVAILABLE TO THE COUNTY COUNCIL, COUNTY EXECUTIVE, AND THE PUBLIC. �lh December 20, 2017 Alicia Rule 2291 Dodd Avenue Blaine WA, 98230 Aliciarule@msn.com 720.474.9501 To Council Members Brenner, Browne, Buchanan, Donovan, Mann, Sidhu and Weimer': Thank you for taking the time to review my resume and experience. As you may know, I was recently elected to the Blaine City Council Member at Large Position. Although I have always been very involved in my community in a wide variety of roles, I have spent this campaign season in diligent study of local issues and the details of the local political process. I am enjoying my new roles and have discovered a particular interest in the much needed Economic Development in Blaine. Very quickly into my campaign, it became clear that this is the number one priority of my Blaine constituents, and I am serving as the President of the Board of Directors of the newly formed Blaine Downtown Development Association. I am a quick study and am committed to lifelong learning and growth. My current political pursuits are no exception to this hard work ethic. I double majored in college, while graduating in less than four years from the University of Washington and simultaneously working nearly full time. I continued on to earn a Master's Degree in Social Work with an additional Pupil Personnel Services Credential, and I graduated with honors. I received the Leon Williams award for excellence in my work in the African American community. I always work hard in what I do to meet the highest expectations. My professional experience as a Child Protective Services and adoptions social worker steered my passion into the training, development and policy administration sector as I took the lead in rolling out a new risk assessment protocol for 5,000 workers in the County of San Diego Child Welfare Services Health and Human Services Agency. I led the internship and training program that partnered the County of San Diego with San Diego State University and 5 other Southern California Universities' Graduate and Undergraduate Programs. After moving to Colorado, I earned my Clinical License in Social Work. My clinical experience includes an outpatient clinic, a community based program, and running a home care/hospice program for the elderly and disabled. I spent some years raising my three children at home, but all the while functioned as a leader in my community in various roles. This included the Junior League of Colorado Springs, work on the Obama campaign, and volunteering at the Democratic National Center Convention. I also organized a group of 1600 community members into an active parent group in Lafayette, Colorado. I worked with elected officials, business owners, community members and volunteers to successfully revitalize downtown Lafayette in Boulder County. I've loved all of the places I've lived, but as my children grew to be school -aged it became important to me to return "home" to Whatcom County. We love our home in Blaine, where I am very busy and active in the community. We also stay connected Whatcom County in its entirety. Over the last two years, my children have attended Bellingham Public Schools, and they are currently attending in the Meridian school system. We are highly active in Blaine sports, 001 church activities in Birch Bay and Bellingham, and most of our friends are scattered around Bellingham and the County. My children participate in swim team at Bayside Pool each year as well as Wild Whatcom. We truly are active members of the entire Whatcom County community. My deep Whatcom County roots, coupled with my professional and volunteer experience in multiple places with a wide variety of people, allow me to bring a unique perspective to the Council. As a mother of three young children, I bring a different framework to the table that represents our community well. My ongoing commitment to representing the range of citizens in our community mirrors the current Council's focus on supporting our diverse population. Furthermore, I think you will find my enthusiasm refreshing and my work ethic reliable. Thank you again for your time and consideration of my application to join such an esteemed group of elected colleagues. I would be honored to have the opportunity to learn and work along side of you as we serve our Whatcom County neighbors well.

I have not made up my mind yet about running for election 4 Lake Whatcom is the drinking water source for about half of the County, and the County has entered into an plan to cleanup the lake to ensure it remains a good source of water far into the future. That plan is slated to take about 50 years to complete. Which statement best represents your thoughts on this effort? 50 years to clean up our drinking water source is too long, so I support speeding up that effort and would be willing to raise taxes or divert funds from other County programs to do that. 5 There are many human needs in our community. Please check below all the areas that you believe need greater effort. Long-term affordable housing Programs to address domestic violence and sexual assault Emergency shelter for the homeless Mental health programs Substance abuse programs Incarceration prevention programs Low income medical and dental programs 6 If on question #5 you said any efforts need to increase, which of these statements best represents your belief in the County's role in funding such efforts. These are critical needs, some more than others. It is going to take a combination of the above steps to make an impact on them. Social needs are intertwined with one another and need systematic and collaborative solutions that include local government partnering with private and nonprofit partners. Sometimes it requires reassigning dollars in the budget and we should always be looking for further funding and grant opportunities. 1 /2/ 18 ' 0 P 3 42 ee vnnne Surveys ntips://ireeonnnesurveys.com/app,/ ivivvo rianaiyzei-vrespon, Voters recently rejected a ballot measure to fund a new County jail. What do you think the County should do now to address this situation? I support using best practices and current research to implement incarceration reduction in our county. We need to work together to create a safe, fair and effective court system. The Vera Institute gave some research based recommendations that make sense to me as a social worker. I have worked directly with these people, issues and programs and know first hand that the criminal justice system and social services are most effective when they work together. I am particularly interested in diversion programs and significantly increasing substance abuse and mental health treatment in our county. I support the idea of A Pretrial Services Program using a researched based risk assessment tool and approaches like electric home monitoring as alternative approaches to incarceration. While it is true that violent offenders must be incarcerated safely, we can best achieve that by working on updating our practices to align with current research that suggests reform to keep non-violent offenders working toward rehabilitation in alternative programs. This is the most effective, humane and fiscally responsible approach. Individual's property rights are an important issue in Whatcom County. What are your thoughts on how current governmental rules regarding land use and environmental protection impact a person's property rights I have watched Whatcom County drastically change in my lifetime. Not long ago, we lived seemingly in the land of abundance and for a long time property owners and government leaders did not have to face these incredibly difficult questions. We didn't face the same environmental challenges that came with this growth and we didn't know as much. We now know and can observe that our natural resources are finite and we all have a responsibility to amend our behaviors, policies and practices to protect them. Our county has grown exponentially and we have to follow the laws that are in place, including environmental protection. I believe that most land owners in Whatcom County appreciate and love their land and will work to preserve it well within a larger ecosystem, using current research if we listen well and include them in the process. Together, we can create legal, long lasting, environmental protection solutions that preserve the natural beauty we all love about Whatcom County in ways that are practical, reasonable and inclusive of property owners. The recent "Hirst" decision from the Supreme Court has affected many people's ability to drill wells to develop their property, and has caused the County to take a broader look at water rights and in -stream flow protections. Do you have any thoughts on how the Council should proceed on this issue? This Supreme Court decision has landed Whatcom County Council in a legal pickle and as a coordinator of jurisdictions at this point. We should continue to work with Ecology and the State Legislature to explore a practical plan of compliance that doesn't burden local counties and individual property owners so heavily. At the same time, we need to come to concensus with the tribes that hold the senior water rights and work collaboratively with them for a set of creative solutions. Together, we need to decide how we can best determine impact on hydraulic continuity as well as how to prove compliance with the water we have available. We can look to other jurisdictions for ideas, but ultimately we need a customized solution that fits the unique geology, ecology and economy of Whatcom County. While we navigate the details of this particular decision, it is critical that we keep in mind that Whatcom County simply doesn't have enough water in the summer and we will need to continue exploring solutions to this problem as we move forward.

In 2017 the County Council entered into a contract with an outside legal firm to gain information about what authority the County does, and does not have, regarding dealing with the various potential impacts from an increase in exports of fossil fuels from Cherry Point. Do you believe spending County money on such a legal analysis was a good idea? Yes 11 There is always an argument about what role the County plays in job creation and economic development, and how much County funding should be devoted to those things. What is your opinion on the County's role in this area? Recognizing that economic development is an important issue in Whatcom County, I don't believe it to be the government's role to be the primary driver of economic growth. However, our local policies can certainly either support or hinder economic growth. It is the role of elected leaders to support policies that support healthy growth for our County. I am involved in and see some exciting redevelopment happening in our small cities and am excited about the nonprofit model of organizing these efforts. When cities and counties work together, we all thrive. 3 44 1/2/18, 9:40 P rammEl ligm (NOMINATED JANUARY 9, 2018) PETE KREMEN 45 U/11ATr"UC"VNTvr"VIVrII.

With the full support of the WC Health Department and with consulting HR, we determined the best way to do that was to hire the position through WSU. The increase in the MOA from that program represents that position and a transfer offunds within our existing program budget. These are not new funds, simply an new way of spending them.

A determination of the Administrative Officer set forth in a notice to the Contractor of the action required and/or the amount required to cure any alleged failure to perform shall be deemed conclusive, except to the extent that the Contractor acts within the times and in strict accord with the provisions of the Disputes clause of this Agreement.

HL_070117_Compass_CORS Page 9 of 20 W� EXHIBIT "A" SCOPE OF WORK I. Background Whatcom County residents who struggle with mental illness and have limited support are affected on multiple levels including, but not limited to, obtaining necessary benefits, acquiring sufficient food, accessing healthcare, receiving vocational support, and accessing stable housing. In fact, the 2017 Point in Time (PIT) count reflected 162 chronically homeless individuals in Whatcom County. Of that group, 41% reported mental illness, 22% indicated physical disabilities, 16% reported substance use disorders, and 11 % indicated a developmental disability. A significant need for support exists amongst those individuals in the community that experience mental illness and the challenges with homelessness, unstable housing and access to resources. The Community Outreach and Recovery Support (CORS) team has been developed with the goal of providing support to individuals who experience mental illness that dramatically limits their ability to acquire and/or retain stable housing and access basic resources for daily living. Increased support and services will effectively link individuals in need with available community resources. The North Sound Behavioral Health Organization (BHO) provides the majority of funding through a mental health block grant for the CORS team. Additional funding is needed to implement and support the full operations of the program. Whatcom County has received requests from homeless and housing providers for more mental health support services to the individuals they serve. The county will provide the funding support to the CORS team to bring it to full operations in order to help meet the needs of homeless and housing providers. II. Statement of Work Compass Health will provide a team of individuals for Community Outreach and Recovery Support (CORS). The CORS team providing outreach based services in the community will consist of: 1.

A Bachelor's level Clinician I, who will provide direct clinical services and function as a liaison with local homeless shelters, supportive housing staff, jail reentry staff, the Whatcom Homeless Coalition, Whatcom County Health Department and programs serving individuals with mental illness. 3. Peer Counselors will provide an array of services aimed at assisting individuals experiencing mental illness who also struggle with homelessness or unstable housing and are in need of support to access and utilize resources that will aid them in achieving their goals. The CORS team will serve as a specialty outreach group focused on individuals in the community who are experiencing chronic homelessness or unstable housing as a result of their mental illness. Through recovery support outreach and a targeted approach, the CORS team will provide assistance in accessing stable housing, healthcare, food, vocational training and other necessities. HL_070117_Compass_CORS Page 10 of 20 E:11i1 The CORS team will be based at the Compass Health Whatcom Main Clinic on McLeod Avenue in Bellingham. However, the majority of the work will be performed in the community at sites serving the homeless or in housing programs; this will include programs such as the Light House Mission, Francis Place, Whatcom Homeless Service Center, and other sites serving the homeless, as well as in the homes of newly housed individuals. CORS staff will facilitate connection to and engagement with appropriate services including psychiatric services, outpatient therapy, Crisis Triage, Crisis Prevention and Intervention Team (CPIT), etc. Services provided will include outreach case management and peer support activities, and the use of Evidences -based Practices (EBP) such as Motivational Interviewing, Illness Management and Recovery (IMR) and Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), Community Outreach and Recovery Support Clinicians and Peers will be available to partner with IOP team members, Projects for Assistance in Transition from Homelessness (PATH) and Outpatient Clinicians to provide services to meet specific client needs as approved and directed by the CORS supervisor.

As the Executive Director of the Whatcom Dispute Resolution Center (WDRC), I believe there is much I can continue to add as a Community Action Agency Representative. With a mission of providing and promoting constructive and collaborative approaches to conflict through mediation, training, facilitation, and community education, the WDRC has a rich 23 year history of serving Whatcom County. Our programs and services touch the lives of many— from youth participating in diversion programming, to parents experiencing divorce, to individuals wanting to build their communication skill set. Our services are assisting schools to reduce out of school suspensions, helping parents stay connected to their children, and complimenting those provided by the Courts - successfully serving to divert cases off the dockets, saving the courts time and resources, and empowering community members to resolve their own disputes effectively. There is a natural alignment with our services and the intent of this task force. The WDRC understands the value of restorative justice, and currently offers a host of restorative practices to the community and our local schools. We have experimented with adult restorative practices and are interested in exploring how we could further support the expansion of these and similar practices throughout the community. As a member of Resolution Washington, the National Association for Community Mediation, and the Association for Conflict Resolution, we are well situated and connected to programs across the state and country that are tackling the same issues and concepts we are grappling with in Whatcom County. For the past 2 years I have served on the Task Force, providing input and offering assistance. I would be pleased to continue to support the work of the task force, and continue to help move this important work forward. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my application. I can best be reached at director@whatcomdre.org or 360/676-0122 x 110. 1 look forward to hearing from you.

Co -Authored the "Stop Punishing Taxpayers, Start Rebuilding Community" 2015 Taxpayers Report that provided a roadmap to county non -profits and leaders to illustrate that solutions are available to downsize the jail demand, that could build our workforce, and rebuild our community relationships and neighborhoods. Attached is a new document that illustrates how the economy is affecting people who get arrested and punishing them in extreme ways that most of the public and even our officials do not understand, since you don't know the impact unless you have been through the system. I would like to work with the various organizations, officials and citizens of Whatcom County to implement justice reform locally, to reduce the stress and trauma that comes from arrests,to help implement restorative justice, mental health alternatives and do what it takes to stop the poverty and arrest cycles, so that we can help people get back to work successfully. I thought that there was a position available on the IPRTF to serve as a community action agency representative, and I would prefer being appointed as that position if possible, so that I can represent the citizens who have no voice.

Went to school in Lynden(LC), live in ferndale, 2 155 and work in bellingham. Diverse group of people i network with and hear ideas and issues from including farmers, small business owners, and college students. 10. Please describe why My family has been in the real estate business in Vancouver, you're interested in BC for many years, and has always been involved in local serving on this board or government. My uncle was on the planning committee in commission Vancouver, and my grandfather was the mayor of his city in England. I have developed a strong interest in community planning and growth from these two people, and i hope to continue the tradition of local government involvement. In my spare time i enjoy reading the different city's comprehensive plans, and zoning maps. I like to compare past maps with current ones to see how things have changed, and come up with my own scenarios for how i think things should be to benefit the community. Having some insight on the issues with Vancouver's housing market and land availability gives me a different perspective and helps me learn from their mistakes. As a young 23 year old, i hope this can be the start of my journey with our local government, and community involvement. I know there is still a lot to learn, but i believe that at my age i can provide insight and ideas from a demographic that often times goes unheard or isn't interested in local issues. I have close relationships with people that hold opposite political views than me, and ones with very similar views as well. This helps me try and approach everything with a mutually beneficial mindset. I am a strong believer that our nation is only as strong as the communities that form it, and I want to do my part to try and help our community come together and grow in a sustainable manner.

Our agricultural community has flourished and continues to make great strides in providing not just the local community, but the world, with products. We can see this while walking the farm lands and speaking with farmers to strolling through the Bellingham Farmers Market and buying locally grown produce. I want to contribute to our community and help strengthen what the generations before us have successfully accomplished. I have great passion for the farming community and believe I could turn that passion into a strong, level headed, bipartisan voice for everyone in our district.

Butenschoen 1542 Westview PI Lynden, Wa 98264 chadbutenschoen@me.com 360-224-4710 INTEREST Whatcom County Planning Commission EXPERIENCE BP General Shop Technician — Bellingham, Wa Tech 5 2008 - Present In Shop While working in the General Shop I have performed various tasks and roles throughout the Cherry Point Refinery. My main role as a technician was to perform routine maintenance work in the process units while following all safety and work guidelines. I also became a crane operator and have spent many hours operating equipment, which plays a significant role into the policy's and procedures aspect of BP for the fact that you need to always be aware of changes. Out Of Shop I have performed many roles outside of the Maintenance Dept. which include: • 2011 - 2013 (Hydrogen Unit Maintenance Planner During this period I was responsible for many different crafts and companies, all working on getting the unit back to operating conditions. My role as a planner was to budget, order materials, set schedules and provide contract companies there work for the T/A. During the Turn Around I was the lead for over 6 different companies averaging 1-200 people per night while troubleshooting any issues that arise. 0 2014 - 2015 (Maintenance Planning) I would take work that individual units had and create work packages for the General Shop technicians to use to complete that work. Working with coordinators, engineers and inspectors I would use the information to create a work plan for each individual job that technicians could use to do day to day maintenance activities in the refinery. • 2015 (Safety Committee Chair I was elected by a group of my peers in the safety committee to be the president of the group for the year of 2015. This group consists of around 100 people who are from a broad range of crafts around the refinery. This group was responsible for new ideas in safety compliance and ensuring that the whole site had resources available to them regarding safety. • 2015 (Co -Founder and Chair of Veterans Business Resource Group) This role was created by our Business Unit Leader/Plant manager when he realized that Cherry Point did not have a Business Resource Group for Vets at this site. I volunteered to help out and soon found myself as the lead and establishing the group not only at an onsite level but nationally as well. We worked to provide resources to employees and the local community through volunteer work and setting up booths at job fairs for veterans leaving the military for the private sector. Once the group was established and the vision for the future W41-01 was clear, I turned the lead over to a governing board and eliminated the chair position entirely. • 2015 - 2016 (Contract Compliance Officer) It is of utmost importance to BP that people working within our industrial facilities are competent when conducting work activities and do all they can to reduce risk to themselves, other people, assets, and the environment. As such BP created a pilot role in which my responsibility was to audit contract companies on the contracts they already had with BP at their Cherry Point refinery. Just like the Veterans BRG this was a new role they brought to this site. I was responsible for not only building the mission statement, job description and implementation plan, but establishing communication with the Contract Companies and beginning the Audit process. During my time in this role I audited 5 different contract companies on many different topics including, ensuring each employee has a clear job description that reflects what that employee is doing onsite, vehicle and equipment maintenance and record documentation, employee training and proficiency of both team and staff positions, code of conduct, how they on -board employees and ensuring on -boarded employees review and understand BP entity HSSE requirements. Once the audit process was completed my focus turned to making a clear After Action Report that was turned into the Contracts Governance Board and training the staff level BP employee that would be taking over the role for the future. • 2016 to Present(NCE Planning.) Plan and Oversee all Non Cycle Ending maintenance work needed to be completed during a given units shutdown. I control the work process from discovery, engineering and inspection details, parts and labor and seeing the work through from a personnel control aspect as well. Matrix - Bellingham, WA Multi -Craft October 2005 - 2008 I performed many jobs including constructing concrete forms, helping to build metal structures and platforms by fabricating panels and beams and assisting with assembly. I performed maintenance work as well as doing many T/A's at different locations on bundle crews. Cajun Construction — Baton Rouge, LA Concrete Worker April 2005 - May 2005 This company drilled large holes in the ground to be filled with concrete for building foundations. My job was to monitor and measure the depth of the holes during the drilling process. United States Army — Fort Bragg, NC Airborne Infantry/RTO October 2001 - October 2004 In the U.S. Army I served in B. Co 1/504 Parachute Infantry Regiment. I 169 was stationed out of Fort Bragg, NC but also did two tours overseas in both Afghanistan in early 2002 and Iraq in 2003. My duties changed according to location, in Afghanistan I was a machine gunner in an infantry squad as we performed combat missions along the Pakistan border to stop the insurgency from jumping borders. I was then promoted to Company RTO and served in Iraq communicating between company and battalion ranks as well as calling in artillery and Close Air Support while at the same time performing my duties as an infantryman in a combat zone..I developed a unique ability to perform under pressure and lead people even in overwhelming circumstances. .

I bring the professional skills to occupation (or former research, read, update and properly interpret local, state and occupation if retired), federal statutes, case law and administrative regulations that qualifications, are relevant to wildlife issues to ensure the county is in professional and/or compliance with appropriate laws and policies. I continue to community activities, and educate myself through webinars, seminars, agency website education review and case law research. I am also skilled at researching scientific studies that comply with the definition of Best Available Science. While I am not a scientist, I research and understand the science regarding wildlife conservation and am fully conversant and able to participate in discussion on wildlife matters with consultants, professors, field biologists, etc. I have worked with professionals in the context of conservation science at the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office as a member of the urban wildlife committee, where we reviewed and rated grant applications from around the state. I stopped doing that only because the meetings changed from telephone conferences to meetings in Olympia. Most of my fellow committee members were wildlife professionals. I was a member of the Market Place of Natural Resources pilot project for parts one and two and fully participated in the process. I was a member of the Planning Commission Ad Hoc Committee on LID stormwater practices and wildlife mitigation. It was here that I really learned the nuts and bolts of watershed based analysis and review through a detailed study of the Birch Bay Characterization Pilot Project. I served on the citizen advisory committee for almost two years, where I focused on Critical Area Ordinance issues. I collaborated with some members of the technical advisory committee. I participated in the Planning Commission review and the County Council review, often providing citation to Best Available Science and relevant law. I have provided informed comment on many issues in this community regarding the GMA, the SMA, Lake Whatcom, Comprehensive Plan updates, SEPA review, the marine ecosystem and all manner of land use regulation. I have also written articles on these topics and used to have a monthly column in the our local nonprofit environmental newspaper, The Whatcom Watch, which was entitled, "No Net Loss." I was the first person to be awarded the annual Paul deArmond Citizen Journalism Award. Because of my interest and drive, my background exceeds that of a layperson and therefore, I request appointment to the technical committee. This is supported by my references, who are conservation professionals that have worked with me. 10. Please describe why I am well known in the community for my interest and advocacy you're interested in on behalf of wildlife and habitat. This is an opportunity to take serving on this board or all the time I have spent learning the law and science and put it . 196 commission References (please include daytime telephone number): Signature of applicant: Place Signed / Submitted into practical application.

Nadine, This is to confirm that my late application was inadvertent based on processing problems with the application and or website. I tried to work on the application last night (1.8.18) and it kept kicking me off before I was finished. This application process is new to me. I also tried again today and continued to have problems until I called your office and after speaking with you realized that I had to create an account to prevent that from happening. So my deadline problems were based on technical issues in processing the application. I think it is also worth noting that due to health issues that affect my hands, I have problems typing and it takes me longer than an average person to type something. That could one reason I had more difficulty than others as I was likely being kicked off more often. Apparently, if you hit the wrong button, which I frequently do, you get bumped out immediately. Thanks for your time and assistance this afternoon. If there is any way to include this with the other applications under these circumstances, that would be appreciated. If not, I understand.

Bering Sea Fisheries Research Foundation Com nunications, BSFRF, Seattle., W.A. Joan developed and is currently implementing a comprehensive communications plan for the Bering Sea Fisheries Research Foundation. Development included an initial assessment of current communications activities and development of goals and measurable objectives for improvement. The initial assessment included an analysis of newsletter distribution and website analytics, as well as N�� Joan Drinkwin Page 2 NOW, A), OWURCIS CONI CTAYN, INC Pzlfflleq� surveys of board members. The communications plan includes five key focuses, including developing a social media presence, increased distribution of electronic newsletters, and integration of all web - based communications. Joan is executing the plan in close collaboration with the executive director and board of directors. Puget Sound Lost Crab Port Prevention. Plan. Development, NW Straits Foundation, WA Joan (prior to joining NRC) led the development of a comprehensive Puget Sound Derelict Crab Pot Prevention Plan for the Northwest Straits Foundation. The process involved bringing together an Advisory Committee of key stakeholders including marine industry, commercial state and tribal crab fishermen, recreational crabber associations, vessel transit authorities (US Coast Guard, etc.), MRC representatives, and agency personnel. The Advisory Committee was convened twice: first to agree upon the impacts of lost crab pots in Puget Sound and the reasons for loss and second to agree upon recommended actions to be achieved in three years to greatly reduce impacts from lost crab pots. The process included heavy emphasis on preparing the Advisory Committee with pre -meeting homework. A focused online survey was developed and executed between meetings to elicit expert recommendations. The plan was completed in June 2016 and the Northwest Straits Foundation is currently coordinating plan implementation. Marine Conservation Program Development, NW Straits Foundation, WA. As former Programs Director with the Northwest Straits Foundation, Joan developed and directed three successful marine conservation programs: the Northwest Straits Initiative's internationally recognized Derelict Fishing Gear Program; a comprehensive Nearshore program focused on on- the- ground restoration, monitoring (including citizen science), and social -science directed outreach to shoreline landowners; and a Marine Resources Committee (MRC) support program providing technical, project, and fiscal management assistance to the seven citizen -based county MRCS in the Northwest Straits region. Programs development always included initial gap analysis and an assessment of where the Northwest Straits Foundation could achieve its greatest impacts. Program development included gradual restructuring of staff, including adding a derelict fishing gear program intern, a Nearshore Program Manager, and focused assignments of staff as liaison to each MRC. With these developments, funding strategies and strategic work plans were developed consistent with the organizations Strategic Plan. Upon Joan's departure from the Foundation, all three programs were fully operational and funded for up to three years in future. Shoreline Arin.oring Reduction Program, NW Straits Foundation, WA Joan directed the development and implementation of an incentive -based program to reduce shore armor along the nearshore of Puget Sound. The program resulted from a state -funded social science -based analysis of barriers to private landowners' removal of unnecessary shore armor. The program built on current projects of the Northwest Straits Foundation and partners to educate landowners about shoreline processes necessary to sustain nearshore habitat functions in PugetSound. The program includes four key incentives: free educational workshops, free technical site visits to provide landowner site -specific management recommendations, free engineered armor removal designs, and cost -shared permitting for shore armor removal. Additionally, the program commits the Northwest Straits Foundation to assist in finding funding for shore armor removal on participating landowners' parcels for up to two years. Piloted in in the Port Susan Bay area in 2012 with funding from WDFW/DNR Marine and Nearshore Grant Program, the project is now a regional model and was expanded throughout the Northwest Straits ND �� ` Joan Drinkwin Page 3 h AfVR.ii.. RUNOVRGV} 00INlEITAN I;S, INC 207 counties. It has succeeded in reaching more than 1,000 shoreline landowners, providing site visits on over 60 sites, and succeeded in achieving landowner willingness to remove unnecessary shore armor along significant stretches of shoreline. Cornet Bay Nearshore Restoration Project, Areas 4, 6, and. 7, NW Straits Foundation, `VA Joan managed the on -the -ground design and restoration of 750 feet of beach at Cornet Bay day use area of Deception Pass State Park. This project was initiated in 2007 by the Island Marine Resources Committee and State Parks to improve nearshore habitat for salmon and forage fish spawning along an altered section of the shoreline in Cornet Bay. Joan took over managing the project for the Marine Resources Committee once the construction design was funded. She managed the finalized design, hired contractors, managed the permitting, public outreach, and construction. Additionally, she promoted the project to funders and succeeded in obtaining full construction funding from the Salmon Recovery Funding Board, Department of Natural Resources, and the US Fish and Wildlife Service. In all a creosote bulkhead stretching along 750 feet of the beach was removed, 1200 tons of beach spawning gravel was brought in, and native vegetation planted to create a more natural shoreline. Over 800 linear feet of shoreline and 1.24 acres of beach and upland were restored. .AI'POI.N'.CWEN'.i'S AND SPE(..I.A.I., .A.SSIC:, \MEN'.l.'S Sehome Arboretum Board of Governors, Mayoral Appointee, 2018 — present Western Washington University Community Engagement Fellow, 2017-2018 Steering Committee, U.S. West Coast Marine Debris Alliance, 2017-present Steering Committee, Global Ghost Gear Initiative, 2017-present, London, UK Replicating Solutions Working Group, Global Ghost Gear Initiative, 2015-present, London UK International Whaling Commission Workshop on Mitigation and Management of the Threats posed by Marine Debris to Cetaceans, 2013-2014, Woods Hole, MA and Honolulu, HI City of Mount Vernon Planning Commission, 1999-2003, Mount Vernon, WA City of Mount Vernon Wetland Banking Advisory Committee, 2003, Mount Vernon, WA Snohomish County Surface Water Management Advisory Committee, 2002, Everett, WA 1" P R IEN C.:;E 2016-present Associate Partner 2012 & 2015 Interim Director 2008-2016 Programs Director 2005-2008 Development Director 1995-2003 Local Government Liaison 1993-1995 Nonpoint Projects Coordinator Joan Drinkwin NIMC RAi.

The Sub Zone had a long history of regular scheduled meetings, which I continued during my leadership. In the past few years this has changed. I do not believe that any board can be truly active about issues, while only having 3 or 4 meetings per year. I was asked by several community members to put forward my name for this committee again.

You may attach additional pages to this form. 1. Why do you wish to serve on the Housing Authorities Board of Commissioners? I would very much appreciate the opportunity to serve on the Bellingham Whatcom County Housing Authorities board of directors. Besides the chance to learn more about our community I especially hope to contribute to the team whose work has enriched the lives of many members of our community by making housing affordable and available. 2. What personal strengths would you bring to the Board? I am collegial and strive to build consensus in a group. Coworkers often look to me to provide perspective and alternate views of people and situations that can help move a process or decision forward. 3. What do you think are the critical issues facing affordable housing in this community and what role do you see the Housing Authority and others playing? Capital, land, and partnerships that can create viable long term housing investments 4. Please list your community volunteer experiences. Currently I serve as a volunteer on the City of Bellingham's Community Development Advisory Board. Previously I have been involved in community engagement activities targeting transportation, physical activity and community building as part of my work in a community health coalition. 244 Commissioner Application Page 2 5. List any experiences you have on policy -making boards and how they would contribute to your being an effective Board member. The earliest board experience I had was a non -voting student member to my community college board of directors. The training provided to me in this role has served me well since. Specifically, that decisions once made are everyone's, personal viewpoints notwithstanding. Once a decision is reached each member 'owns' it and presents it fairly to their respective constituents. 6. How do you see the role of a Commissioner in relationship to the role of an Executive Director and staff? Generally I would understand this to mean the difference between operations — doing the work and policy -- fair and useful guidelines to use when doing the work. I would expect that commissioners are NOT involved in operational decisions or activities on any ongoing basis. 7. Using information on Page 4, Commissioner Selection Guidelines, please comment on your qualifications for each guideline. a. Demonstrated leadership capabilities. My background in the nonprofit community reflects an individual who seeks out challenges while hoping to improve the lives of members of my community. I have served in various roles including coalition coordinator, program director, marketing manager and more. I have been especially successful in launching new initiatives and delivering on promised goals. b. Knowledge of and commitment to affordable housing I am pleased that Whatcom County has adopted housing first. Our community has come a long way since while working at the local crisis services we provide one- way tickets to homeless individuals. The face of homeless people has migrated from the mythic lonely male to whole families without shelter. Providing shelter and support to keep people in place in our community is much preferable. As a parent of two disabled daughters I have valued the opportunity the housing authority has made available to them as they make their way in the adult world. Both receive SSI — a $698 monthly entitlement and without a HUD Section 8 housing voucher their independent living would be impossible. Overall, I am impressed with the investments made by the housing authority and its partners in building affordable and desirable projects. 245 C. Time commitment I am able to meet on the third Tuesday of each month and have flexibility in my work schedule to accommodate further engagements. d. Policy, planning, budgeting experience I have an MBA from Western Washington University and a Project Management Certificate from the University of Washington. In addition to educational experiences I have been responsible to plan, budget and provide due diligence to projects ranging from marketing, to mentoring to leadership training. As the author of a number of grants I am able to put good use developing correspondence between plans, budges and program measurement activities. e. Collaboration and interpersonal skills My work with collaboration increased significantly when I was the program director for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Washington. At that time the Whatcom County Readiness to Learn Consortium was becoming established as an open door to our county's seven school districts. I was able to leverage my time and expertise to help solidify the consortium while successfully authoring and competing for grants related to mentoring. I very much appreciate the value of partnerships in achieving results — I can't think of any other way to create something meaningful and, hopefully, lasting. My work in communications has honed both my skills at persuasion and presentation. I am a capable communicator in conversation, in writing and in visual communications. Board perspective. My involvement with the Community Development Advisory Board is my most recent example of respectfully presenting ideas, offering a different opinion, or just questioning fundamental rationales. 1 believe members of that board would agree that I treat others respectfully and can more forward to achieve results. 246 WHATCOM COUNTY COUNCIL AGENDA BILL NO. 2018 — 28 CLEARANCES Initial Date Date Received in Council Office A enda Date Assi ned to: Originator: Weimer 1/8/2018 1/16/2018 Council Introductio Division Head: Dept.

The interactive qualifications, toolkit can be found at: www.lwvwa.org/ Former League of 2 301 professional and/or Women Voters of Bellingham/Whatcom County Advocacy community activities, and Chair: Guided 30+ volunteers in lobbying for League positions education on eleven topics, from the Environment, to Healthcare, to Voter publicity. Wrote League statements and testified at Whatcom County, and Skagit County and Ecology EIS hearings, and wrote several EIS statements for the Washington State League of Women Voters. Worked on League Election Forums for the last four years. This year I worked with a group of three other League members to develop the unbiased questions used at all Forums and was one of two people screening and rewriting audience questions at the Mt.

EDUCATION: BA in English with teaching certification (Bronze Tablet for top 2% scholastic achievement) and Honors MA in English/American Studies, University of Illinois at Champaign -Urbana (Elected to Phi Beta Kappa) EMPLOYMENT: Retired Whatcom Community College Faculty. Among my activities: Developed Writing Across the Curriculum and Interdisciplinary Studies programs (Team Taught Interdisciplinary Humanities and a team taught sequence integrating science, social science and humanities), leading to presentations at colleges within Washington State, at University of Texas, Austin and at the International Teachers of English conference in Heidelberg, Germany as well as a Humanities Association Award. Led faculty in development of Learning Outcomes in all disciplines in the College. Served as President and/or Chief Negotiator for the Whatcom Community College Federation of Teachers several times. 10. Please describe why Why I Would Like to Serve on the Environmental Impacts you're interested in Advisory Committee Although not a scientist by background, serving on this board or my work as Co -Chair the League of Women Voters of commission Washington's Climate Action Toolkit committee has familiarized me with recent research, including that completed (and ongoing) by the Washington Department of Ecology and the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group. This interactive Toolkit, designed to educate League members and their communities may be accessed at www.lwvwa.org/ Then click on "Climate Action Toolkit" in the right hand column. I was excited to learn that the county is seeking to review its ten year old Climate Action Plan including "climate change mitigation and impact prevention, adaptation, and preparation goals." This is precisely what one section of our interactive Toolkit was devoted to, although it obviously was broader than Whatcom County. When setting targets to reduce greenhouse gases and other climate change effects, the committee should review all related materials by the Department of Ecology and our outstanding research institutions on the predicted effects of 01M Climate Change on Western Washington and Bellingham in particular and on how local government can best deal with them. Getting a grasp of federal priorities will also be important, but will be a bit more difficult: several of the federal documents we included in the League Toolkit, have been replaced by pages saying that the original postings are being revised. While Whatcom County will be affected by all aspects of climate change, rising/surging seas, ocean acidification, and changing heat and precipitation patterns, with attendant water distribution/equity problems (exacerbated by predicted continuing drier summers, less mountain snowpack and diminished glaciers) will be among the thorniest problems facing the county. A December, 2017 article in Nature reports that an unstable Antartica could double current estimates of sea surge, increasing the urgency of taking action. We should examine all advice, especially of Washington scientific and governmental institutions, to determine the most effective preventative/mitigative actions: What actions should we be taking to protect vulnerable people, property, businesses and infrastructure? As to the county's water problems, perhaps Washington State University's two recent Water Symposiums, which I attended, may provide material and contacts to build on. I would like to see the county develop information exchange opportunities among our diverse citizenry and to hold sharing sessions to educate community members in all parts of the county on the impacts of climate change and of possible ways to mitigate/ adapt to them. All ideas should be listened to. My background as an educator and chief negotiator of several negotiated agreements between faculty and the Board of Trustees at Whatcom Community College (while maintaining cordial relations with then President Harold Heiner and Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Pat Hite) should help me work on the educational charge to the committee involving people with a variety of agendas, and, perhaps, sometimes hostile groups or individuals . My work on local League of Women Voters Candidate Forums for the past three years will also be helpful. Although I was out of the country for the first forums this year, I worked with three other League members on formulating the neutrally worded questions used at all of the forums and was one of two people at the Mt. Baker High School Forum rewording audience questions to make them meet the standards of civility. There is much research available on advances and practicality of renewable resources, which is being revised on an almost daily basis. Given current knowledge and scientific predictions, a key question is " Beyond what is already being done, what should the County be doing to encourage renewables, and how can we do more than give lip service to,a just_ transition for displaced workers and 0131 businesses?" The West Coast, and Whatcom County Washington, are particularly well poised to become leaders in green industries. We already have small solar and water turbine industries. Why not more of these, along with wind, and even geothermal? Dead ends? Maybe not with the right support! Listening sessions with workers who fear loss of their jobs and coordination with local unions could be beginning points for a just transition. I would bring intelligence; a healthy skepticism of authoritarian pronouncements; a good lay knowledge of Climate Change and ways to mitigate it; an ability to access important current studies, and to analyze and evaluate the validity of resources; experience in leading discussions and drawing people out; and an ability to use data/facts to open minds and to persuade.

I meet with experts from different technical fields and consolidate their input to help produce documents that are easy to understand and which comply with industry and governmental standards. Previously I've worked as a writing center tutor, taught university classes in rhetoric, and as a Campaign Assistant for United Way. Qualifications As part of the Watershed Masters program through Washington State University, I learned from and worked with people in various sectors in Whatcom County (including loggers, biologists, farmers, and local business owners) to help improve watershed health. I've also taken classes in environmental science and policy, and published numerous articles on environmental issues, including interviews with environmental activists and journalists like Elizabeth Kolbert and Bill McKibben, and a feature article in Cascadia Weekly on stewardship of Bellingham Bay. Through my varied work and education, I've gained an understanding of the need for coordination and cooperation between environmental and social advocacy groups, the public and private sectors, private citizens, labor advocates, and more to create and implement sustainable environmental policy. Community activities • Helped design, coordinate, and hold a public workshop on watershed health. • Gave a talk at Whatcom Museum on ways individuals can engage in water conservation. • Participated in a pilot project with Whatcom County government to seed native clams in Birch Bay. • Worked with local high school students to survey an area of the Bellingham Bay shore for creosote. • Worked with the Interfaith Coalition to serve food on a weekly basis to those in need. Education I received my BA in the Comparative History of Ideas from the University of Washington, where I learned a lot about the value of interdisciplinary work. I also have a Master's Degree in Creative Writing and know the importance and efficacy of a well -crafted narrative in advocacy work. N EXT PAG E 321 Please describe why you're interested in serving on this board or commission A few years ago I took a post -baccalaureate class in US Environmental Policy at Western. My final assignment was working with a group of my peers to assess the efficacy of the Washington State Growth Management Act. I found it fascinating to study the law itself, as well as how it had been implemented in counties across the state. During other parts of the class I also encountered the idea that public policy is unsustainable without the public's backing. This further catalyzed my pursuit of writing as a profession — the idea that in order to successfully advocate for something, it must be made relevant to the lives of others. My genuine interest in others allows for meaningful dialogue and action, and I'd like to serve my community by putting these skills to use. 322 p,. r yc.

Purdue University WEST LAFAYETTE, INDIANA Master of Science Degree in Ecological Sciences & Engineering 2011— 2014 Focus on human dimensions of climate change and transdisciplinary studies as part of the Natural Resources Social Science Laboratory in the Department of Forestry & Natural Resources. Haskell Indian Nations University LAWRENCE, KANSAS Bachelor of Arts Degree in Indigenous & American Indian Studies 2009 — 2011 Focus on history, law, art, and philosophy concerning American Indian and Alaska Native lifeways and contemporary issues, with research centered on climate change impacts in Indian Country. Associate of Arts Degree in Creative Writing 2006 — 2009 Focus on poetry, short stories, and English language as a communication medium and art form. Experience Western Washington University BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Academic Support Coordinator, Student Outreach Services July '17 —present The Academic Support Coordinator is a member of the Student Outreach Services Team who partici- pates in a full range of retention efforts. The primary purpose of the Academic Support Coordinator is to facilitate academic advising/coaching, academic intervention, cultural/social integration, and outreach to traditionally underrepresented and non-traditional students. This position is responsible for providing academic support for American Indian and Alaska Native students to help students transition to Western, meet their goals, overcome personal challenges and achieve academic success. Northwest Indian College BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Director, TRiO Student Support Services September '15 —July '17 The Director has oversight of the TRIO Student Support Services program and is responsible for budget authority and grant management as well as program design and execution. The Director provides supervision, recruitment, and training, of the program staff, and determines student eligibility and intervention strategies. Further responsibilities include service as a liaison between NWIC and partner institutions (such as the Campus Community Coalition) to identify opportunities for graduating students to enter graduate and professional programs and other community service opportunities. Northwest Indian College BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Academic & Career Advisor for Sciences September '14 — September '15 As an advisor, I worked with predominately American Indian and Alaska Native students within the Native Environmental Science discipline and provide necessary direction and mentorship to ensure adequate educational planning for the student's intended program of study as well as providing assistance to students in understanding degree requirements, planning schedules, and monitoring satisfactory academic progress. Further duties included serving as Native Environmental Science faculty, with specific instruction in Climate Change, Political Ecology, and Indigenous Philosophies. Meq� The Plural Knowledge System PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Philosophy Jan '14 — May '14 Criticisms of Western institutional knowledge often stem from similar criticisms of positivism and falsifiablility. A focus on the emergent properties of traditional ecological knowledge, more specifi- cally indigenous knowledge systems, can utilize multiple ways of knowing, allowing for intercultural incorporation of both empiricism and rationalism through intercultural social construction. Plural reconstruction as an analytical method incorporates several epistemologies, and limits cognitive dissi- dence and bias through practical conflict resolution. Navigating the Tribal IRB Process PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Outreach/Extension Dec 13 —Apr 14 The Belmont Report includes special considerations when dealing with research in American In- dian/Alaska Native populations. While each tribe is supposed to review research and assess the beneficence and risk, in practice several tribes have neither a standing research ethics committee nor institutional review board (IRB). By utilizing multiple tools and audio/visual media, tribal members and non -tribal members alike can access knowledge which contains pertinent information and may also serve as a training platform for future native researchers interested in quickly understanding the design, purpose, and function of an IRB. Currently serve on the NWIC IRB for AIHEC and Lummi Nation & Swinomish Indian Tribal Community. ESE Keystone Series PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Facilitator/Marketing Director Jan 12 —Apr 13 Discussion -based series to address relevant interdisciplinary topics of High -Volume Shale Gas Extrac- tion and the KeystoneXL Pipeline, drawing from interdisciplinary knowledge -bases within Purdue University. Combined scholarly literature review, within physical and social science disciplines, to inform discourse regarding public policy grounded in evidence and multiple perspectives that are otherwise mediated by popular press and political outlets. Facilitation includes open -space discus- sions, external media resources, and invited panelists representing diverse perspectives, to inform and encourage discussion amongst multiple interest groups and stakeholders. Determing the Socially Optimum Price of Water PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Environmental Policy Analysis Oct 12 — Dec '12 This study identifies and quantifies the externality of greenhouse gas emissions in the residential water supply and waste water treatment in West Lafayette and assigns an adjustment of the marginal price for water to reflect the costs of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The summer and winter municipal supply and demand analysis was conducted as an econometric study based on consumption and price data supplied by Indiana American Water Company for residential use. The socially optimum price for water and waste water, based on EPA estimates of GHG production, was calculated to be $10.01 per 1000 gallons of water used, both for summer and winter. AI/AN Perceptions of Climate Change in Newsprint PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Media Content Analysis Jan 12 —Sep 12 Very little literature exists which details how climate change impacts Indian Country. This study investigates how US newspaper stories published from 1991 to 2011 present American Indian/Alaska Native (Al/AN) perceptions, and observations, of environmental changes resulting from climate change. Several specific risks, impacts, and vulnerabilities were documented, and observations of climate change from AI/AN perceptions were analyzed for content to identify three frames of perspective: pan -Indian, tribally -specific, and individual perceptions. Water Balance & Adaptive Management in Water Crisis Cities PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Transdisciplinary Analysis Feb '12 —May 12 Through a case study of Phoenix and Mexico City metropolitan areas, this project seeks to identify resiliency factors correlative to the available water supply. An ecohistorical context is utilized to identify how past climate changes and social pressures led to collapse. A water balance for each city was calculated to determine its hydrological footprint. This project also highlights how a water balance is also useful in city planning and water management systems. 650ppm: Climate Vulnerability Assessment of Costa Rica PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Risk Analysis Sep '11 —Dec 11 This study seeks to identify and evaluate climate change impacts, risks, and vulnerabilities of Costa Rica using complex climate change model simulations and simpler modeling tools. Based on multiple projected emissions schemes, this study explores the policy, ethics, and methods to reduce carbon emis- sions (and consequence of business -as -usual action) utilizing several strategies including a corporate carbon tax, compounding restrictions based on corruption and social -iniquity indexes to protect poor and marginalized populations, and market -based emissions reduction instruments. 327 Deer & Sugar Creek Water Management Program PURDUE UNIVERSITY, W. LAFAYETTE, IN Facilitator/ Natural Resource Analysis Sep '11— Nov '11 The Deer and Sugar Creek Working Group watershed management plan meeting was held at the Flora 4H Building in Flora, IN on October 19, 2011. The comments gathered during the meeting were comprised from stakeholder input from table discussions, questionnaires and a brief survey, to develop a local strategy for watershed management. A Closer Look... COSTA RICA Editorial/Cultural Exchange May 11— Jun 11 As climate changes lead to rising temperature and fluctuations in precipitation, the indigenous peoples of Costa Rica must find ways to adapt to novel events in both recorded and oral histories. I spent two weeks with the Bri Bri and Maleku peoples, living and learning with them in their respective environments. Part of the time I was learning about the local ecosystems, while the rest of the time was spent helping the community to build gardens, construct schools and sanitary facilities, all the while sharing my own native culture and experience. Operation: Get Better HINU, LAWRENCE, KS Project Director/Facilitator Aug 10 — July 11 As a long-term Clinton Global Initiative commitment to action, Operation: Get Better was a crowd - sourced program to develop student -led wellness initiatives at Haskell Indian Nations University including: "The Big Idea" wall, fruit tree planting, campus clean-up, adopt -a -freshman program, music videos, and IT initiatives, as well as planting organic gardens and building sanitation facilities in indigenous communities in Costa Rica Student Senate HINU, LAWRENCE, KS President Aug '10 — May 11 Served as Student Body President and was effective as the chair of the organization where students may serve their interest and govern those affairs that directly and primarily affects them: promoting leadership, academic growth, and excellence in affirming the rights of every student.

Particular focus was on student retention, and reestablishing the effective governance of the student senate in accordance with its constitution while also reincorporating indigenous values and systems of governance. Vice -President Aug '09 — May '10 Served as Student Body Vice -President and sought to promote legislation through formatting, while addressing the inter -generational trauma and distrust of documentation. Was effective in lobbying congress on behalf of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, as well as for HINU and NSF. Further work was to reduce the amount of paper waste generated by the student government and establish internet-based tools and presence, as well as fund-raising for student intitiatives. Haskell Environmental Research Studies Institute HINU, LAWRENCE, KS Research Intern June '09 —July '10 Summer research experience based in conjunction with the National Science Foundation through Kansas EPsCoRP to conduct undergraduate research. Focus was on studying potential energy mitigation and changing paradigms in mobile information communication technologies. Engagement included the creation of digital resources such as a YouTube video and GoogleDocs presentations to practically illustrate the method in which mobile information can potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Wetlands Preservation Organization HINU, LAWRENCE, KS President Aug '08 — May 09 As president of the Wetlands Preservation Organization, through collaboration with the Clinton Global Initiative University and the PowerShift conference, I was able to bring international awareness to the issue of the Kansas Department of Transportation plan to build a 10-lane highway through the middle of an ecologically, culturally, and hydrologically important wetlands south of the Haskell campus. I lead the continuation of the lawsuit against the Kansas Department of Transportation, as well as the Army Corp of Engineers. Also led several community events to bring awareness to the issue. Further work included community workshops to educate and practice wetlands management techniques, clean-ups, and also events which brought local artists and musicians together to focus on positive messaging concerning environmental issues.

Please describe your My current occupation is a process engineer at the BP Cherry _ ......... 2 335 occupation (or former Point Refinery. This job means that I sit on the `front lines' so to occupation if retired), speak of climate control. In my day to day job I am responsible qualifications, for ensuring safe and environmentally compliant operations by professional and/or monitoring & adjusting operations at the refinery. When done community activities, and well people in my position can and do have a significant impact education on climate change, for example: • During an upset I was able to quickly study process and environmental data and used unit knowledge to request changes which were able to cut emissions for this event in half. • Recommended process changes which can be made to minimize emissions from day to day operation through intimate unit knowledge and experience. • Study causes of recurring unit upsets and have been able to figure out how to prevent problems which are the largest source of emissions. Educationally I have a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Michigan State University. While at Michigan State I studied alternative energy and climate change and had one professor in particular who had a profound impact on my life and career. He taught me that every form of alternative energy has both its' pros and cons and the careful study of both is the only way that our society as a whole will move forward and solve the greatest problem of our lifetime. For example he showed me that although capturing energy from waves seems free if it is not carefully implemented it can change the way the ocean's function enough where it can be devastating to ecosystems. I am highly involved in our community and have a passion for doing everything I can to make this community as great as it can be. To help our community I am currently the lead chair of the Bellingham Kiwanis young professionals group which is a satellite of the main Kiwanis club. As lead chair I organize numerous service events per year supporting a wide range of community service organizations such as Lydia Place, Cloud Mountain farms, Salvation Army, ARC of Whatcom county, DVSAS, Opportunity council, RRAD amongst many others. Last year our organization donated several hundred hours of our time to help make the community a better place and I am so fortunate to have the opportunity to serve as the leader of this wonderful organization. I have recently started becoming more involved in local politics mostly by attending several county council meetings and speaking out on topics that are important to me. I am extremely excited about becoming more and more involved in what is going on and being a part of the process of improving quality of life in our community. 10. Please describe why I have a strong personal conviction that my great purpose in life you're interested in is to have a significant impact on what I believe to be the serving on this board or largest single challenge currently facing our society, that being commission global climate change. l have carefully picked my education, 3 336 work -place and interests to put me in a position where I can and do have a personal impact on climate change on a regular basis. I think the next step in my journey is to become more involved in alternative energy and climate change policy and regulation. I think my background sets me up perfectly to be successful as a part of this board because I understand how climate policy is implemented in the real world and so I think I can do a great job of helping to recommend change that will have a truly beneficial impact. I have a passion for smart climate control techniques that involve all parties from multiple perspectives and think that is the only way we will actually solve the great problems we face. I am ready to serve the community as a part of this board. I think my life events have built up to this, and can't wait to be considered.

WHY I'M INTERESTED IN THE CLIMATE IMPACT ADVISORY COMMITTEE Dear County Council Members, I believe I have a unique and valuable perspective to offer this committee and I'm extremely motivated to do this work. I grew up in rural Montana, but have spent the last 13 years building a family and life here in Bellingham. In the last few years my wife and I have made a serious commitment to reducing our own climate impact and it's been incredibly satisfying. Some of the things we've done include commuting by bicycle, giving up vacation air travel, producing all of our power via solar, changing our diet, and generally consuming less. In our circle of friends, we are known and respected as mavens in the climate change space and, frankly, if feels damn good. I am also the founder of www.permanentpLanet.com, an online carbon footprint calculator that allows families and individuals to easily determine their own footprint and, most importantly, evaluate what changes in their lifestyle would make the biggest impact. It's been shared by Bill Mckibben at 350.org! I built the online tool specifically for my family as we transitioned to a lower impact lifestyle. The research, data analysis, and healthy skepticism necessary for this work was right in my wheelhouse. In short, I'm the guy to help juggle the data, science, and disparate incentives of all the interested parties and tease out where we can realistically spend our energy and resources to have the biggest impact. I am a pragmatic, get it done kind of leader who knows how to stay out of the weeds and focus on achievable results. Every committee needs a few of those and I'd love the opportunity to serve.

We worked to design customized monitoring programs to measure ambient water conditions and harvest plume conditions at numerous sites. The work also included characterizing the hydrodynamics of the sites using field data collection and hydrodynamic modelling. My role was to coordinate directly with Taylor Shellfish staff for times and sites to conduct monitoring, and create monitoring systems, such as barge mounted oblique aerial photography systems to capture plume generation and progression during geoduck harvests. Annacis Island Waste Water Treatment Outfall Diffuser; Delta, British Columbia I was the project manager for a salinity and water density monitoring program in the Fraser River near Annacis Island. The work was conducted for Metro Vancouver to support designs for a new waste water treatment outfall. This site posed a unique challenge for meeting initial dilution zone requirements. The challenge is during low river flows in the winter, the salt wedge would progress up to the site. The presence of the salt wedge created a density gradient that would reduce vertical mixing of the outfall with the ambient water. I designed a data collection program to track and monitor the salt wedge presence at the site (or so we loving termed it, salt wedge hunting). My role included coordinating with Port of Vancouver staff to obtain permits to conduct sampling and install a temporary seabed frame at the project site. Additionally I designed the data collection program to help meet regulatory requirements to capture the worst case salt wedge conditions. The data collection included frequent conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) profiling at select locations, and installation of continuously monitoring salinity, temperature, turbidity, and current meters. I led the onsite data collection efforts, data analysis, reporting, and budget management. Environment Canada Waste Water Outfall Dispersion Modelling; Multiple Sites, British Columbia I assisted with data collection, review and support for outfall dispersion modelling for first nation's communities done on behalf Environment Canada. The project involved building an understanding of characteristics of wastewater management systems and to characterize most likely failure scenarios using a dispersion modeling approach. My role was to provide background metocean and environmental conditions as input to dispersion modeling calibration, verification, and production simulations. D-Island Water Quality Monitoring System, Agip KCO; North Caspian Sea, Kazakhstan Early in my career at Golder I took on a lead role in developing and maintaining an experimental near -real time air and water quality monitoring system installed on D-Island in the North Caspian Sea, Kazakhstan. The system was designed to meet regulation requirements for the offshore drilling and production site. I was responsible for system design, instrument selection, monitoring, maintenance, and operation of a near -real time water quality monitoring station. Monitoring included preparation of monthly reports of verified data, and ongoing data quality control. I provided on -site technical support for recovery, maintenance and field calibration of the station. I assisted with the certification and inspection of instrumentation and water quality station with the Kazakhstan governing agency. As I became more experienced I took on a role of providing onsite training and troubleshooting to local Kazakhstan office employees. Water quality parameters measured included: salinity, temperature, depth, turbidity, chlorophyll fluorescence, pH, oxidation-reduction potential, dissolved oxygen, hydrocarbons, and particulate size and concentration. 403 Fish Habitat Remediation and Design; Multiple Projects in British Columbia I was involved in multiple projects in British Columbia to design wetland and fish habitat as part of remediation work for projects required to build habitat compensation. The scope of work included assessment of existing data, summary of design criteria, sea level rise assessment, 2D modelling of overwash and coastal erosion, and design and construction planning for complex habitat sites for salt marsh establishment and forage fish habitat. My work was collaborative with ecologists and biologists to create a habitat design of appropriate location and elevation to allow for establishment of local species, while maintaining elevations and grain sizes appropriate for the hydrodynamic conditions at site to ensure a design life of 25 years. Rich Passage Wake Impact Study, Fast Ferries Program, Kitsap Transit; Puget Sound, Washington The Rich Passage Wake Impact Study is a multiyear program that Golder has been involved in to support the study and monitoring of high speed ferry wake effects along shoreline properties and to communicate with communities and stakeholders. My role included beach photograph documentation to monitor beach sediment elevation relative to shore protections and bulkheads, gravel tracer monitoring, wake wave measurements, noise monitoring, and attending community information sessions. The data collection contributed to monitoring shoreline erosion during fast ferry trial runs. University of British Columbia -Point Grey Cliff Erosion Study; Vancouver, British Columbia The Point Grey cliff erosion study was undertaken on behalf of the University of British Columbia to provide a review of existing conditions of the cliff slope, and beach, potential implications of sea level rise, and to make recommendations toward mitigating the erosion using sustainable practices. I assisted with the study objectives which included desk based data review of geotechnical conditions, wave and wind climate, a water level and sea level rise analysis, and the design recommendations. Small Craft Harbour- Effects Assessment of Breakwater on Wave Climate; British Columbia Coast I was involved in a desktop evaluation of a timber breakwater for a small craft harbour. The work involved an assessment of functionality and effectiveness of the structure. The end result was to advise the local government on how to proceed with the breakwater and to create a flyer to inform the community of the recommendation. My role involved gathering and reviewing available literature, site specific data, and historical aerial photographs. The assessment included evaluation of nearshore wave conditions using fetch analysis, wave diffraction, attenuation estimates, summarizing recommendations, and flyer design. Shoreline Assessment and Classification for Proposed Marine Offloading Facility; Prince Rupert, British Columbia I conducted a shoreline assessment of a proposed marine offload facility site. The shoreline assessment consisted of grain size assessment and characterization of the intertidal foreshore. Some of the shoreline consisted of bedrock cliffs and inaccessible sites, so boat based monitoring methods and photogrammetric survey was used to capture the shoreline. The results of the photogrammetric survey was to characterize the slope stability and grain size of the project site, as well as classifying the shoreline. me Strait of Georgia Current Circulation Study at a Deep Water Waste Water Outfall; Vancouver, British Columbia I was the project manager for a data collection program for Metro Vancouver to measure current circulation in the Strait of Georgia near a deep water waste water outfall in approximately 80 to 100 m water depth. My role included coordination with Canadian Coast Guard to issue notices of the temporary tautline mooring installation and data collection program. I led the field data collection, analysis, and reporting. Multiple Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Terminal Investigations; Multiple Sites, Canada I worked along the British Columbia coast (Howe Sound, Prince Rupert, Kitimat), and in Nova Scotia collecting meteorologic and oceanographic data for port and terminal design for proposed LNG facilities. Much of the work consisted of coordinating with provincial and federal government agencies to obtain permits to deploy monitoring stations, such as seabed mounted frames, tautline moorings, surface buoys, and meteorologic stations to measure wind, waves, currents, general water properties (temperature, salinity, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen, and chlorophyll - a), and surface sediment sampling. My role was through all phases of the program. I was involved in permit application, field logistics and coordination, first nations technical training, instrument calibration and procurement, safety planning, field collection, data processing, analysis and reporting, and project management and budgeting. Examples of some of the instrumentation I used are: RTK GPS, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), Acoustic Wave and Current Profiler (AWAC), real time TRIAXYS wave and current buoy systems with satellite telemetry, water quality sensors (e.g. YSIs, RBRs, Seabird Electronics, JFE Advantech turbidity monitors), and ponar sediment samplers. Lake Tanganyika South Block Physical and Biological Baseline Studies, Beach Petroleum; Tanzania I worked as a field engineer for the physical baseline study data collection program to provide measurements of surface waves, currents throughout the water column, wind speed and direction, and water properties including conductivity, temperature, depth, turbidity, chlorophyll fluorescence, and photo synthetically active radiation within the Lake Tanganyika south block oil and gas exploration lease for Beach Petroleum. The program required the procurement, deployment, servicing, and recovery of two surface riding wave buoys and two multi -parameter tautline moorings in water depths of approximately 300 and 500 meters. I took on an extra role to repair damaged junction boxes for the solar panels that had been tampered with. 405 Y1 � NaDean Hanson f...

I serve on the Steering professional and/or Committee for the statewide Alliance for Jobs & Clean Energy community activities, and and help organize the local Blue -Green Waterfront Coalition. education I've attended numerous conferences and summits focused on climate change and energy, including the COP23 in Paris. Two years ago, I read Whatcom County's 2007 Climate Protection and Energy Conservation Action Plan and observed that it was no longer up to date with the technologic and economic conditions of the present day. At that time, in the midst of also reviewing the County's Comprehensive Plan updates with an eye towards climate adaptation and sustainable energy, I suggested that the council establish a citizen advisory committee to review the 2007 plan, assess if our goals are being met, create an updated plan, and make policy recommendations to achieve the goals. Thankfully this idea is now being realized. 10. Please describe why Already, the impacts of global greenhouse gas pollution are you're interested in creating challenges for Whatcom County, which we can expect serving on this board or to be much more severe in the coming decades: droughts, commission forest fires, reduced snowpack and thus river flows, acidified shellfish beds, rising sea levels, and powerful storms. Climate change and ocean acidification pose challenges of the highest degree. Moreover, the imperative to move beyond fossil fuels presents an even greater challenge to Whatcom County in that refining petroleum is an anchor of our local economy. Forward - thinking planning in the county's jurisdiction is vital for adapting to the consequences of greenhouse gas pollution and predictable climactic changes. Going further, Whatcom County has potential to become an exemplary leader among worldwide efforts to make the clean energy transition swift, just, and equitable. The complexity of responding to climate change responsibly, for a municipal government, demands an accountable, collaborative public process. Though not an expert by any means, I have a broad foundational knowledge of issues around climate and energy, with a well-rounded network of change -makers in policy and alternative energy industries. I don't claim to have all the answers, but I'm adept at research and critical analysis. Through serving on the committee, I would aim to facilitate input from local stakeholders and outside experts, procure reports and guest presentations, seeking to find solutions where they exist. My priorities are to ensure that the committee's process is inclusive, productive, and ambitious.

Please describe your I currently work for the Tulalip Tribes Natural Resource occupation (or former Department as an Environmental Scientist. My position is occupation if retired), primarily focused on reviewing, developing, and implementing qualifications, the technical aspects of regional salmon recovery policy. Much 2 433 professional and/or of our work on salmon recovery is focused on climate change, community activities, and from sea level rise, to ocean acidification, flooding, and marine education survival. I serve on the Snohomish Basin Salmon Recovery Technical Committee as Co -Chair. We recently published an issue paper on how climate change impacts salmon and salmon recovery strategies, and developed a number of adaptation strategies to address the anticipated impacts of climate change (see resume/CV). I also a serve in a leadership position developing Tulalip Tribes Climate Change Adaptation Plan. We are currently in the early stages of drafting the plan. I am deeply familiar with regional climate change assessments, including the work of the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington, and many other regionally specific scientific reports related to climate impacts such as sea level rise, ocean currents, hydrology/flooding/drought, snow pack, wildfire, sediment transport, ocean acidification, marine food web dynamics, erosion, beach armoring, and water rights issues. I am familiar with other non -ecological impacts such as flood and stormwater management, infrastructure development, critical area ordinances, human health effects, and anticipated challenges and opportunities for agriculture. I would like to contribute more to my community. Thus far, my contributions have been limited to professional activities, as well as educational public presentations. This opportunity will be an ideal way for me to contribute locally in an impactful way. I have a bachelors and masters degree in Biology from Western Washington University, where I studied biological impacts of land use on streams in Whatcom County. I think my scientific expertise and conservation values will add an important element to this committee. 10. Please describe why Since completing graduate school at WWU I've enjoyed you're interested in building a career with a number of tribal communities just south serving on this board or of Bellingham. Initially I started working for a tribe because commission tribes are a major employer in the natural resource field in the area, so the opportunity was simply available. I also did not want to leave my home in Bellingham. I greatly appreciate the opportunities the tribes have given me, as well as the wisdom they continue to teach, and values of community and conservation they continue to inspire. When we plan for managing natural resources, we plan 7 generations into the future. If our modern society in the greater USA would do this, we would be in a much better position to combat climate change and preserve the resources we all depend on. While these values may occasionally conflict with the drive for economic development at times, the economy, and the economic well being of the people of Whatcom County is compatible with native conservation values. I believe we can ME develop our society with intelligence and foresight, so that our great grandchildren can thrive like our great grandparents. We are making steps in the right direction, and I would like to volunteer my education, knowledge, and experience to help guide us into the future. After working my way through two degrees and beginning to cultivate a successful career, I am ready and enthusiastic to serve my community in the capacity of a volunteer member of the climate impact advisory committee.

I recently completed my Masters at Western Washington University and created a Climate Justice Field Manual which can be downloaded for free at climatejusticenow.earth. What I have learned is that it is imperative that our governmental bodies (local, state and national) take bolder action on climate change. I have had extensive training on climate education and advocacy with The Climate Reality Project and have a thorough depth of understanding on the topics related to climate change, including impacts and solutions. I am currently working with a team on a Fossil Free Bellingham Resolution which calls for 100% renewable by 2030, and this process which research into what over 60 cities are doing across the country is furthering my understanding of the scope of the solutions. I feel that I could make sound recommendations to the Council on policy and budget priorities as well and guidelines for addressing climate impacts. 1 can also recommend targets that put us on a path to a livable future, which it is essential to have a target to work towards that is based on the current science. Also, I can help with strategies on public engagement and effective climate communication for citizens. My references are listed below as they didn't fit on my application clearly.

One of the FWG recommendations was the acquisition of a countywide electronic patient care reporting system (EPCR) and Record Management System (RMS). A new county -wide ePCR software program will provide a common data collection and analysis platform. To achieve this goal, the Fire Chief's Association in collaboration with the three largest fire agencies, nominated for the task, vetted several vendors to determine which could best accommodate the needs of a new county wide system. Image Trend, a leader in the industry, was determined to be the vendor most suited to Whatcom County needs. The Fire Chief's Association also recognizes that ImageTrend will be able to provide for fire record management systems to further improve all aspects of response, patient care and outcomes. On July 13, 2017 the Whatcom County EMS Oversight Board unanimously approved for council recommendation the acquisition and subsequent implementation of a county -wide ePCR software program in the amount of $150,000. Subsequently, the County Council approved the acquisition through Budget Supplemental Ordinance 2017-059. The contract has not yet been completed and is now anticipated for January 2018. This budget supplemental moves the previously approved budget expenditure to 2018. A new EMS Manager is anticipated to begin work in 2018. This position requires a vehicle to travel to different agencies throughout the County. ACTION: The County Executive requests council review and approval of this budget supplemental in the amount of $150,000 for the acquisition of a new county wide ePCR and RMS system and the purchase of a vehicle for the new EMS Manager.

Requested Action Facilities Management respectfully requests that the County Executive and Whatcom County Council approve the attached Supplemental Budget Request #2512, allowing sufficient budget authority to fund the existing Design2Last contract. Background and Purpose On November 8, 2017 the County Council approved the amended contract for Design2Last for Scoping, Design, and Project Management for improvements to the existing Jail. The existing Jail Improvement Project Based Budget does not have sufficient funds for the expanded scope of work approved in the contract. Currently, there is approximately $340,000 for design services in the Jail Improvement Project Based Budget. The Design2Last Contract was approved for an additional $543,000 (total contract amount to date $913,287.20). Based on the Design Charrette held on November 28, 2017 and in consideration that the Jail bond did not pass and the useful life of the existing Jail facility will MW need to be extended, Design2i_ast and Facilities Management will be presenting to the County Council options for further expansion of scope of work. If approved, this budget will need to be expanded again to include the additional scope items. ■ Funding Amount and Source Adequate funds exist within the Capital Project Fund, expanded by $7,000,000 in the 2018 Budget.

Description of request. Whatcom County entered into an agreement with design2LAST to assess the current jail facilities and design the necessary renovations to the existing jail facility. 1b. Primary customers: Sheriffs Office Personnel, Jail inmates and service providers. 2. Problem to be solved. design2LAST was retained by Whatcom County to perform building assessments on the existing Jail, (Public Safety Bulding) and the existing Work Center. The assessments, completed as Phase 1A in December of 2016 were to address two issues; the physical condition of each building; and the operational condition of each facility. The objective of the assessment was to identify building systems, materials, and procedures that can be improved to increase building safety and reform proesses which would allow the facilities to remain in operation until such time as a new Public Safety Building can be procured, constructed, and occupied. The result of that study included a long list of deficiencies and potential repairs and tasks at both facilities, and included a rough order of magnitude costs. Whatcom County then selected the ten most urgent tasks for further study for the Main Jail building only. Phase 1 B which anticipates the renovations needed to keep the jail as safe and secure as possible until a new jail can be built, is currently under development. The objective of this phase is to complete a more detailed, yet non-invasive, study of each of the tasks for the Main Jail only, and propose corrective actions (scope options) as well as total estimated costs. Extensive maintenance and renewal work is projected to cost more than $32M as outlined in the design2LAST report. According to that report due to the existing jail configuration and footprint this work will not provide any meaningful or permanent answers to space related issues such as medical, booking, classification and programs. 3a. Options /Advantages: Repair and renovation are necessary to address the physical conditions and operations of the existing jail and work center While extensive maintenance and renewal work is projected to cost more than $32M as outlined in the Design2Last report, according to that report the existing jail configuration and footprint work will not provide meaningful or permanent answers to space related issues such as medical, booking, classification and programs. The other option is to construct a new facility where many of the deficiencies of the current jail can be adequately addressed such as medical, booking, classification, and programs. A new sales tax to support the construction of a new jail was not approved by the Whatcom County tax payers.

Cost savings: There are no cost savings to this approach. The current Main Jail facility can not be made to fit the need for space or code issues. This work will extend the current use of the facility. However, it will not meet the space needs for programs, medical, booking, classifications or code issues. 4a. Outcomes: Whatcom County has contracted with design2LAST for building assement studies known as Phase 1. The contract for services has been amended to include the scope for Phase 2 and Phase 3.
